She is very tentative! Providing updates during visits of my dogs conditions and how they seem as well as goings on like when they had some diarrhea. She is very nice and implements how you want your animals to be taken care of. Is willing to use and learn about things like the e-collars I use for my girls. All around a good sitter!

Jennifer is great! Our Klaus can be an excitable guy and she has worked with us to get to know him. She is a great communicator with pictures and messages.

Kelli has done a great job with taking care of my dog. She was very willing and flexible to do a home visit meet and greet and is great at communicating anything that may come up with your pup. So grateful to have her help.

Staci did a great job with my elderly cocker spaniel. I felt very secure knowing that she was taking care of her during my vacation out of town. I received several pictures and updates on how she was doing while I was gone. I would definitely book her again to care for Tulla. Thank you, Staci?

About: I've loved caring for pets for family and friends over the years. Moved away from home so looking to keep that same experience around here. I'm generally off on Sundays and Mondays for work, and live close enough for potty breaks and I make my own schedule if enough notice is given. I have a fenced in yard which has been home to dogs the size of a Great Pyrenees down to a Yorkshire Terrier before. The home is large enough for multiple pets to have their space.

About: I've loved dogs ever since I can remember. I have experience caring for every breed of dog imaginable. Never found one I didn't love to the moon and back. I am a firefighter so my schedule can vary but I'll have lots of time to care and love your pup and give them all the scratches they deserve. I treat others' homes just like my own, if not better. I also don't mind grabbing your mail, feeding other pets, or watering plants if needed.

Kayla is so awesome. Not only did she come to our rescue at the last minute, but she sent us pictures of our kitty. Really appreciate her coming to the rescue with less than 24 hours notice to do a quick drop by to feed our cat. Would highly recommend Kayla!

About: I have had dogs and one cat since I was a child up until about a year ago. I trained and socialized my dogs so they were always people, child and pet friendly. I am patient and I will understand they will be stressed when their family is not with them. I love walking dogs, playing whatever games they enjoy or just spending time with them for comfort. I work from home full-time and have a flexible schedule during the week and weekends. My work week is normally done by noon on Thurs., so I have long weekend availability. I would treat your pet as I would my own. Give extra attention as we know animals miss their family. I will provide in home care so your pets are more comfortable when you are away.

Gretchen was great with my girls! She was on time for her drop-ins and stayed to play with them the whole time. She did a meeting with me to meet the girls before she came to watch them which was great! She strove to understand what I needed from her and what the girls needed with their behavioral issues! Very professional and kind!

About: I grew up on a farm and have been around all sorts of animals. I have experience with all types of dogs, from Great Danes to Chihuahuas. Neighbors, friends, and family have previously relied on me to house sit and care for their pet(s) while they’re away. I’m currently working part time, so I have lots of free time to care for your pet(s). Even on days I work, I can do potty breaks before and after. I rely on what the client tells/gives me. I like to keep animals in their own home so they can feel comfortable and not anxious with another person and at another home. It’s good to keep one of those neutral.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life and absolutely love caring for them! From giving medications, adventurous walks, to making sure they’re fed, happy, and feeling loved, I’m all about keeping tails wagging and pets comfortable. I’m super patient and take the time to understand each pet’s personality—whether they’re energetic and playful or shy and need a little extra TLC. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, spoiled, and right at home while you’re away 🐾 Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I genuinely enjoy making time for animals! Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or check-ins, I’m able to plan my schedule around each pet’s needs to make sure they get consistent, loving care. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. I keep a clean, secure environment and follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, medications, and special care. I’m patient and take time to build trust so every pet feels comfortable and safe. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every pet like family and every space with respect.

Jessica was great with my dog and my cat! I received video and photos during her visits. It appears she followed what I had laid out plan wise for them. I know some are a bit over the top like leaving on Pandora but she did as I asked, which I appreciate so very much. This was the first time I had someone that wasn't family watch my animals and I was anxious, but she did a great job. Thank you so much!
